It's very exciting to announce that Gabbi Flores, Board Member-at-large, has created this website for the SSHOA. It is a wonderful resource for SSHOA members with information including: CC&RS, this newsletter, pool rules, RV Center rules, fire lane map and contact information. You will also be able to make pool party and common area reservations through the website.

Another happy announcement is that Brian Hylland has accepted the role of RV Center Manager. Going forward, Brian will be in-charge of the maintenance of the RV Center, re-registering current RV Center users and registering new users, weekly visual monitoring of the RV Center, and assigning parking spots and terminating user if rules are broken.

After July 1st, the RV Center rules will be strictly enforced. Vehicles that are in the RV Center in violations of the rules and/or the owner has not paid the annual storage fee within 45 days of the due date, will be towed at the owner's expense. the following items are not allowed the the RV Center under any circumstances per the City of Hillsboro and the Fire & Rescue: propane tanks, oxygen tanks, nitrous tanks, paint cans, aerosol cans containing any substance, chemicals of any kind, containers of gasoline, oil, other vehicle fluids and/or any substances that are flammable and/or explosive.

The goal is to clean out the RV Center entirely by August 15th and put down 2 truckloads of gravel. Then the vehicles that are registered within the SSHOA can be put back in the RV Center in an organized manner within assigned spaces.
